Kris and I decided on the Private Stock bridge pickup for a custom built guitar from luthier Steve J. Mash. Sort of a Melody Maker shape with a 25" scale, humbucker in bridge, tulipwood body, maple neck. The Private Stock bridge is a very versatile, dynamic pickup usable in a range of styles. Chose a black uncovered pickup, I'm most pleased with its versatility.
This is paired with a custom neck pickup, a unique design from Pegcity. To match the timbre, no hum, and power of the bridge, Kris built a stacked magnet single-coil sized design for this position. So, it's noiseless and pairs super well with bridge.
A great solution and a wide range of sounds available c/o a basic 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-way switch.
Just installed a set of Classic 59’s into an Epiphone Sheraton ii. What an upgrade! These pickups look and sound incredible! When chording there is remarkable note clarity across all the strings and single notes sing and cut through the mix. They are also very pick sensitive and clean up nicely when the volume is rolled back. I’ve always liked this guitar but now I love it, it just sounds huge! Thanks Kris! Great communication, easy to order, amazing build quality and fast shipping! I feel like I will be ordering a Peg City strat set in the future!
I recently added a Fatboy Special neck pickup to one of my main guitars, and was blown away by its clarity and silky smooth sound. On high gain its crystal clear and articulate, on clean it has a beautiful presence and projection. Highly suggested to anyone who values a well rounded, clean neck tone!
I've been playing guitar for 30yrs. Playing heavy metal for over 20yrs and I can honestly say I have never felt such a substantial difference in a pick up swap......until I installed a set of Widows. I replaced an EMG 81/85 set with Angry Widows and was instantly blown away by how organic, articulate and more defined my tone was. So then I swapped out a Seymour Duncan Full Shred and JB set for some Angry Widows and it was the same result, my tone took a step in the direction I wanted, but the EMGs and Duncan's just continually fell short no matter what combination. The support, sales and relationship I now have with Peg City is something you just can't get with big manufacturers. Don't think twice, you might miss out on your perfect tone
The Classic 59’s were an excellent set of pickups for my Les Paul kit build. They sound great! You get all of the tones and responsiveness you would expect from PAF. Highly recommend if you are looking to get that classic PAF sound without breaking the bank. I can't wait to start my next Pegcity pickup powered project!
My tech just finished installing the new pickup in my 2015 Les Paul traditional.
Original pickups were thin and trebly. The new 66er is better balanced with sweet bass response. Best neck pickup I’ve had in any of my guitars so far.
I am very pleased with the sound from this pickup. Much more sound than the original.
I had bought a HILS Next N3 headless guitar as a travel/practice/spare guitar. The fret ends needed attention and I didn’t like the high-output, ceramic pickups. I play guitar in a jazz big band and I only really use the neck pickup so, I ordered a Smokey Nights Jazz Humbucker. I took it into a local guitar store to have it installed and when the fellow returned the guitar to me he said, “That is a nice sounding pickup.” I have played the guitar at home but last night I took it to band practice where I plugged it directly into my Quilter Aviator Cub amp (Fender style amp). I started with the “tweed” input but later switched to the “black” input. The Smokey Nights sounded great. It is very clean, clear, quiet and to my ear there is clear separation between the strings. Our piano player commented on how good the pickup sounded. I have an original Kent Armstrong/Benedetto B6 humbucker (i.e. not a Seymour Duncan B6)on my other guitar (a T-style thinline) and I like the Smokey Nights better. By comparison the B6 can be a little dense and lacks the bell like quality that I hear in the Smokey Nights. I love the Smokey Nights humbucker and I think I may change the B6 for one of the other Pegcity pickups. Thank you Kris.
I bought these p90 covers for my player mustang 90 and they look fantastic. I specifically wanted white covers and couldn't find them everywhere else, so I was happy to find them here, especially through a Canadian company! Thank you so much!
Kris promptly answered all of my questions and added nickel covers at my request. The payment process was super easy and my pickups were sent out quickly. They arrived in a solid box with lots of foam padding. Pickups look great. They’re not installed yet so I can’t comment just yet about the tone. Will do that when I’ve tried them out!
